[42] في تفسير على بن ابراهيم باسناده إلى ابى بكر الحضرمي عن ابى عبد الله عليه السلام قال: ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله قال لعلى صلوات الله عليه: يا على القرآن خلف فراشي في الصحف الحرير والقراطيس فخذوه واجمعوا ولا تضيعوه كما ضيع اليهود التوراة، فانطلق على صلوات الله عليه فجمعه في ثوب اصفر ثم ختم عليه في بيته وقال: لا ارتدى حتى اجمعه فانه عليه السلام كان الرجل ليأتيه فيخرج إليه بغير رداء حتى جمعه.

In the Tafseer of Ali Bin Ibrahim (Qummi), by his chain going up to Abu Bakr Al Hazramy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said to Ali -asws : ‘O Ali -asws ! The Quran is behind my -saww bed in the sheets of silk and papers. So take these and gather it, and do not let it go to waste just as the Jews wasted the Torah’.

So Ali -asws went, and collected it all in a yellow cloth, the completed it in his -asws house and said: ‘I -asws will not wear (a shawl) until I -asws gather it’. So he -asws was a man who came to it without a shawl until he -asws had gathered it’. [43] علي عليه السلام يجمع القرآن ويعرضه على الناس فلما رآى غدرهم وقلة وفائهم له لزم بيته وأقبل على القرآن يؤلفه ويجمعه، فلم يخرج من بيته حتى جمعه وكان في الصحف والشظاظ والأسيار والرقاع.

فلما جمعه كله وكتبه بيده على تنزيله وتأويله والناسخ منه والمنسوخ، بعث إليه أبو بكر أن اخرج فبايع. فبعث إليه علي عليه السلام: (إني لمشغول وقد آليت نفسي يمينا أن لا أرتدي رداء إلا للصلاة حتى أؤلف القرآن وأجمعه). Ali -asws started collecting the Quran to present it to the people. When he -asws saw their treachery and their lack of loyalty to him -asws , he -asws turned towards the Quran to collect it.

He -asws did not come out from his -asws house until he -asws had collected it, and it used to be written on the paper, and on the wood, and the skin, and other bits. When he -asws had collected the whole of it, and (was in the process of) writing it by his -asws own hand in accordance with its Revelation, and its explanation, and the Abrogating (Verses) and the Abrogated (Verses), Abu Bakr sent for him -asws to come out and pay allegiance to him.

Ali -asws sent a message to him: ‘I -asws am busy and have taken it upon myself -asws that I -asws shall not put on a robe except for Salat until I -asws have compiled the Quran and collected it’. فسكتوا عنه أياما فجمعه في ثوب واحد وختمه، ثم خرج إلى الناس وهم مجتمعون مع أبي بكر في مسجد رسول الله.
